Dear NRDC Supporter,
It’s easy to get caught up in the chaos of the Trump administration and lose sight of what we’re really fighting for in Washington — defending the tangible policy priorities that are making people’s lives better.
These priorities include vital clean energy tax credits that have created thousands of new good-paying jobs, lowered energy costs for consumers, and reduced pollution in communities while making the U.S. more energy independent.
These credits are working for Americans across the country, and politicians on both sides of the aisle support them. But they’re now threatened by the Trump administration and anti-environment members of Congress who want to repeal the credits.
Read more about how clean energy tax credits are revitalizing our workforce and why we need to protect them.
What to know about the clean energy tax credits:
- They helped spur the creation of more than 150,000 jobs in 2023 alone
- They help bring down the cost of producing clean energy, reducing consumers’ energy bills and reducing pollution in communities
- They help the U.S. stay competitive in a booming global clean energy market, helping our country aim for both climate and energy independence goals
- They helped homegrown renewable energy account for about a quarter of all U.S. energy generation in 2024, the vast majority of new energy production that came online that year
These are the tax credits we fought so hard for in the Inflation Reduction Act, President Biden's landmark climate law — and we must fight to protect them. So NRDC is working with members of Congress on both sides of the aisle, elevating the real stories of business owners and everyday Americans whose lives have been changed by these tax credits, and mobilizing NRDC supporters like you to speak out against the Trump administration’s attacks on clean energy.
Get the full story here.
Sincerely,
Derek Murrow
Senior Director, Federal Power, Climate & Energy, NRDC
